    Study Notes

    Resource Efficiency and Pollution Prevention

    • ESS3 recognizes economic activity and urbanization create pollution (air, water, land) and consume finite resources.
    • Current and projected GHG concentrations threaten future generations.
    • Efficient resource use, pollution prevention, and mitigation technologies are more readily available.
    • This ESS sets out requirements to address resource efficiency and pollution prevention and management throughout the project life cycle, consistent with GIIP. This includes throughout the entire project life cycle.

    Objectives

    • Promote sustainable resource use (energy, water, raw materials).
    • Minimize adverse impacts on human health and the environment from project activities.
    • Reduce short and long-lived climate pollutant emissions.
    • Minimize hazardous and non-hazardous waste generation.
    • Minimize pesticide risks and impacts.
    • This also includes minimizing pollution from project activities.
    • Avoid or minimize generation of hazardous and non-hazardous waste.

    Scope of Application

    • Applicability determined during environmental and social assessment (ESS1).

    Requirements

    • Borrower considers ambient conditions and applies technically and financially feasible resource efficiency and pollution prevention measures.
    • Improve resource consumption efficiency (energy, water, raw materials).
    • Integrate cleaner production principles (product design, production processes).
    • Benchmark resource efficiency using available data (comparing to existing data if possible).

    Energy Use

    • Efficient energy use is critical for sustainable development.
    • Borrower should implement measures to optimize energy usage technically and financially possible.
    • Measures to optimize are detailed in EHSGs. Should follow the EHSGs to ensure optimization.

    Water Use

    • If projects use significant water or impact water quality, Borrower implements measures to avoid or minimize water usage to prevent impacts on communities, other users, or the environment.
    • Develop, maintain, monitor, and report water balances periodically.
    • Assess cumulative impacts of water use on communities and the environment. This assessment will identify and implement appropriate mitigation measures.
    • Benchmark water use efficiency against available industry standards (operations should be benchmarked against available industry standards).

    Raw Material Use

    • If projects use significant raw materials, Borrower adopts efficient raw material use measures detailed in EHSGs and other GIIP.

    Pollution Prevention and Management

    • Avoid pollutant release - minimize/control pollutant concentration & flow. Follow national law and EHSGs for safe waste management (routine, non-routine & accidental releases).
    • Manage potential historical pollution: identify responsible parties; risk assess human health and environment impacts; remediate following national law and GIIP (whichever is more stringent).
    • If historical pollution poses a risk, assess the risks associated with potential historical pollution and take necessary steps for remediation.
    • Environmental risk assessment of potential historical pollutants should be carried out. Remediation of historical pollution sites will be undertaken to ensure no risks to the health of workers & surrounding communities. Recourse for remediation from third parties may be considered.
    • Ensure remediation does not pose a risk to worker or community health.
    • If waste is hazardous, follow national legislation and international conventions (including transboundary movement). The management of hazardous waste will comply with existing requirements. (e.g. storage, transport, disposal).

    Air Pollution Management

    • Identify and implement technically/financially feasible options to minimize project-related air emissions. Implement measures to avoid or minimize project related air emissions.
    • Characterize and estimate project-related air pollution sources.
    • Estimate gross GHG emissions (if technically/financially feasible), and seek bank support if capacity is limited. This includes establishing measures to ensure the risks and impacts are minimized.
    • National methodologies may be used for GHG emissions estimates, with Bank agreement. Assistance may be necessary if the borrower lacks the capacity to carry out the estimation.

    Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste Management

    • Avoid waste generation, promote reuse/recycle/recovery where possible.
    • Manage waste safely following national legislation (and) applicable international conventions using environmentally sound and safe disposal systems.
    • Ensure compliance with requirements for storage, transportation, and disposal of hazardous waste (as defined by EHSGs and national law, including municipal, e-waste & animal waste).

    Pesticide Management

    • Prioritize IPM (Integrated Pest Management) or IVM (Integrated Vector Management).
    • Evaluate risks associated with pesticide use, considering intended use and users.
    • Use only pesticides compliant with EHSGs and international conventions, unless an acceptable justification or exemption is provided.
    • Pesticides must meet criteria for non-carcinogenicity, non-mutagenicity, and non-reproductive toxicity, or have an exemption.
    • Pesticides must also have minimal adverse human health effects and minimal impact on non-target species.
    • Include methods, timing, and frequency of application to minimize impacts on non-target organisms, humans, and the environment.
    • Ensure pesticide use is in compliance with relevant international conventions and national regulations.
    • Include compliance with local and international standards for labelling, handling, storage, or disposal of pesticides.
    • If a country lacks restrictions for pesticides, do not use if they pose potential serious risks. (This should be identified by internationally recognized classification and labelling systems).
    • Use products with no unacceptable risks to human health or the environment if they are identified by international conventions or their protocols, wherever possible.

    Pest Management Plan (PMP)

    • Develop a PMP for projects involving significant pest management issues or where substantial pest control financing is anticipated.
    • PMP may be part of the ESCP (Environmental and Social Component Plan) or a separate plan depending on the complexity of the project.
    • PMP should include elements dealing with risks, impacts, and mitigation measures, establishing measures to minimize the risks.
